As of my last knowledge update in January 2023, .NET 6 was the latest major release, bringing numerous features and improvements to the .NET ecosystem. Keep in mind that there may be more recent releases or updates. Here are some key features and improvements introduced in .NET 6:

1. Single Platform Model:

  • .NET 6 introduced a unified platform model, allowing developers to use a single project file to target multiple platforms, simplifying the development process.

2. .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI):

  • .NET MAUI enables the development of cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS with a single codebase. It combines Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI into a single framework for building native apps.

3. Minimal APIs:

  • Minimal APIs provide a more concise syntax for building web APIs, reducing the amount of boilerplate code typically associated with API development.

4. ASP.NET Core Improvements:

  • ASP.NET Core received enhancements, including support for HTTP/3, improved performance, and updates to authentication and authorization systems.

5. Hot Reload for Blazor and Razor Pages:

  • Hot Reload functionality was extended to Blazor and Razor Pages, allowing developers to see changes instantly without restarting the application during development.

6. Tiered Compilation:

  • .NET 6 introduced tiered compilation, allowing the runtime to generate more optimized code based on an application's usage patterns, leading to better performance.

7. Performance Improvements:

  • Various performance improvements were made across the entire .NET runtime, including the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, garbage collector, and other runtime components.

8. .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid Apps:

  • .NET 6 enables the creation of hybrid applications by combining Blazor and .NET MAUI, allowing developers to use web technologies in native mobile development.

9. Security Enhancements:

  • Security improvements were introduced, including updates to security headers middleware, improvements in data protection, and support for JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication in ASP.NET Core.
